WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME!
The Los Angeles Art Show, over the years, has grown in both
breadth and size into the international encyclopedic art fair that
it is known as today, a show whose scope is as bold and vibrant
as its namesake city. Now in its 14th year, we are excited to
welcome you to our new venue of the Los Angeles Convention
Center, a move both of necessity as well as an opportunity for
greater endeavors. Presented by the Fine Art Dealers Association
(FADA) and the International Fine Print Dealers Association
(IFPDA), this year’s unprecedented showcase includes work from
over 135 prominent galleries, exhibiting for sale a dazzling array
of art from Rembrandt to Ruscha and beyond. Whether you’re out
to acquire or simply be inspired, this five-day extravaganza of
celebratory events features the powerful impact of over 15,000
paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, video, and sculpture,
from master works of the past to cutting edge contemporary,
all vetted for authenticity and available for purchase.
Join us this long weekend of art in enjoying an inspiration of
work from around the world, and take home a piece of history
in the making, from our new home to yours.

Peter Fetterman of Peter Fetterman Gallery
The celebrated American photographer Edward Weston died
penniless in 1958 never having sold one of his photographs during
his lifetime for more than $25. One of his prints sold at auction in
2008 for close to $2million. For 30 years Peter Fetterman has been
collecting and for the last 20 years has been exhibiting many of
the world’s greatest photographers including Henri Cartier Bresson,
Ansel Adams and Sebastiao Salgado and has lived the growth of
this fascinating market firsthand. Hear Peter talk about the history,
aesthetics and economics of this powerful art form that many
consider the “medium of our time” in this informal talk.

1pm
“East Meets West: The Rise of Contemporary
Asian Art” Panel Discussion
Sponsored by art ltd. magazine.
Panelists will include Curator Jeff Kelley, Curator/Gallerist
Chip Tom, Art Dealer, Karon Morono, and Critic Scarlet Cheng;
Moderated by art ltd. editor George Melrod. In recent years, the
dramatic emergence of contemporary Asian art has had a notable
impact on both the global art market, and worldwide cultural
dialogue. In 2008, shows of top Asian art collections at leading
museums, and the expansion of galleries showing emerging Asian
artists, have emphatically introduced these practices to West Coast
audiences. Does the rise of Asian art mark merely a passing fad or
a significant shift? Is there a critical context in the West to assess
this body of work? In this panel, leading gallerists and curators
discuss the new visibility of Asian art, and the growing global
interconnectedness of contemporary art production.

Q & A to follow Sponsored by ArtScene Magazine
With the inauguration of President Barak Obama just having
occurred, how will the changes in the political arena affect current
aesthetic practices and art world affairs? AVR radio host Marlena
Donohue brings this lively topic to the table in a round table
feminist discussion with panelists Cherie Gaulke, Jerri Allyn, and
Kim Abeles. Mat Gleason brings his AVR commentary and opinion
program to the LA Art Show with his iconoclastic approach.
For those who aren’t yet familiar with Mat--no this is not going to
be a business seminar! And Hunter Drohojowska-Philp interviews
artist Mark Bradford. They will explore his point of view as an
individual African-American artist, and his take on the impact
of the new President in terms of both arts policy and the broad
cultural tone that might be set.

“Melding the seemingly disparate traditions of apocalyptic
live-action graphic novel and charming Victoria-era toy theater,
Dante’s Inferno is a subversive, darkly satirical update of the
original 14th century literary classic. Retold with the use of
intricately hand-drawn paper puppets and miniature sets, and
without the use of CGI effects, this unusual travelogue takes
viewers on a tour of hell. And what we find there, looks a lot
like the modern world.”

The Fine Art Dealers Association was founded in 1990 as a non-profit
membership organization of respected and established dealers from
across the United States. Its members are dedicated to promoting and
maintaining the highest degree of professionalism, scholarship and integrity
in all business conducted with colleagues, institutions and the art buying
public. Membership in FADA is highly selective and by invitation only.
Each member has expert knowledge of the artist or periods in which he
or she specializes and maintains a corresponding inventory. In addition
to demonstrating a commitment to enriching the cultural lives of their
communities, members share their expertise through significant exhibitions,
informative catalogs, and by offering quality works of art whose
authenticity is unconditionally guaranteed.
FADA, as the overseeing organization of the Los Angeles Art Show, applies
these same quality principles to the ambitions of this annual art exposition.
FADA’s growing membership, now at 54 members, parallels the Los
Angeles Art Show’s own increased roster of galleries, growing attendance,
and essential need to move to a new home—demonstrating that these
values speak to a larger, art-loving audience. It is this vision of excellence
that will greet all those who attend the Los Angeles Art Show’s five-days
of vibrant offerings, in a celebratory event, to admire, view, and purchase,
art work from around the world, across mediums, and over the centuries
of time. The Fine Art Dealers Association is pleased to join you in the
art-capital of Los Angeles.

Well, 2008 was one heck of a year. Turmoil in the financial markets
had a ripple (probably more like a Tsunami) effect on everyone. Stocks,
which were running toward 14000 before the summer, were at the 8500
level near the end of December and the Dow gyrated by hundreds, if not
thousands, of points in a day. Oil skyrocketed to over $147 a barrel, and
then plummeted to the mid $30s a few months later. And let’s not even
talk about the housing and job markets. In the end, the only somewhat
bright spot was the art market. Now do not get me wrong, the art
market has seen many heavy waves pound its shores, but even during
the worst of 2008, art was selling – and some of it for record prices.
The month of October saw many 19th century European works hit the
market and a great deal of strength was seen, with record auction
prices being set for Edma Dehodencq ($1.08 million), Wilhelm Kuhnert
($590,000), and Victor Gilbert ($542,500). And we cannot forget the
works by Muller, Bouguereau, Gerome and Pasini that all sold in excess
of $1 million.
In November the Impressionist and Contemporary sales took place and
grossed a combined total of $730 million; yes, that was a long way
from what they expected but still, $730 million worth of art sold in two
weeks --- you have to agree that during these ‘difficult’ financial times,
that was pretty impressive! Among the really bright spots from those
sales were: Malevich’s Suprematist Composition at $60 million; Munch’s
Vampire at $38.16 million; a Degas work on paper at $37.04 million;
Yves Klein’s Archisponge (RE11) - $21.36 million; Philip Guston’s auction
record $10.16 million for Beggar’s Joy; and John Currin’s Nice ‘N Easy –
another auction record at $5.46 million.
By December the American and Old Master works were making their
rounds and even these sales had their share of fireworks – Canaletto’s
The Grand Canal… brought $5.72 million; van Mieris the Elder’s A Young
Woman in a Red Jacket Feeding a Parrot made $5.4 million; da Carpi’s
Portrait of Bindo Altoviti made $4.56 million; Tiepolo’s long lost Portrait
of a Lady as Flora brought $4.22 million; Francis Silva’s Sunrise at Tappan
Zee made an auction record $2.66 million; and O’Keeffe’s Blue Wave
Maine garnered $1.65 million.

2009 is now upon us and the Fine Art Dealers Association’s Los Angeles
Art Show, the first MAJOR art exhibit of the year, has once again made
some MAJOR changes. 15 years ago we started as a small group show
at the Pasadena Civic Center; today we feature over 135 dealers from
across the globe displaying over 4 centuries of great art at the LA
Convention Center. This new venue gives our show greater flexibility
to meet the needs of our exhibitors while affording our visitors both
a visually stimulating and relaxing viewing experience. And let’s not
forget the ‘climate controls’!
On behalf of the members of the Fine Art Dealers Association, it is my
pleasure to welcome all of our visitors and exhibiting dealers to the
14th Annual Los Angeles Art Show. We know you will all have great
time.
Peace
Howard L. Rehs, President
Fine Art Dealers Association

The 2009 Los Angeles Art Show sets itself apart in more ways than one. First, on this year’s
agenda, we will be moving the fair to its new venue of the award winning Los Angeles
Convention Center. While the growth of the show continues to be a motivating factor for the
move (we will not forget our beach side stomping grounds), the Convention Center’s convenient
downtown location and spacious glass and steel pavilions provide a grand backdrop to some
of the world’s most stunning art work. We are excited to call this architectural splendor our
new home.
A secondary achievement, though as just of great of importance, is our evolving list of
exhibitors. Despite a rather challenging economic environment we are thrilled to welcome
our largest number of participants ever, with over 135 exhibitors from around the globe in
attendance, an expanded gala beneficiary night, support from the City of Los Angeles and
the Department of Cultural Affairs, an increased museum and non-profit roster, as well as the
fourth incarnation of the much anticipated Supersonic 2009, featuring this year’s MFA outcrop
of an emerging generation of Southern California artists. The 2009 Los Angeles Art Show
also highlights a greater expanse of programming interests with the inception of a Sculpture
Garden in the spacious entrance hallways of the Convention Center, expanded special events
and symposium offerings, including a Children’s Activity Room and movie screenings, a Video
Display presenting artists from our incoming gallerists, and a night out with Angeleno Magazine,
at Friday Night’s Art Of Fashion Party.
Thirdly, and as in all year’s past, we are pleased to be joined again by some of the US’s and
the world’s most distinguished galleries and artists. I thank you for joining us in Los Angeles
during a period of uncertainty and yet one of great optimism and potential. What we all value,
expression, the vision of art, is what we bring to this fair as well as what we take away. And
to the audience and all those who make this show possible, FADA, the IFPDA, our sponsors, and
growing network of affiliates and colleagues, I welcome you to the 2009 LA Art Show with the
certainty that this year is but the successful grounding for many more years to come.
Have a fun-filled welcome in beautiful Los Angeles—a city whose art is the uniting of a rich,
cultural fabric much like the Los Angeles Art Show.

LACMA

lacma

Since its inception in 1965, LACMA has been devoted to collecting works of art that span both history
and geographyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and represent Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uniquely diverse population. Today, the museum features
particularly strong collections of Asian, Latin American, European, and American art, as well as a
new contemporary museum on its campus, BCAM. With this expanded space for contemporary art,
innovative collaborations with artists, and its ongoing Transformation project, LACMA is creating a
truly modern lens through which to view its rich encyclopedic collection.

Founded in 1952, the Art Museum Council (AMC) is LACMA’s longestrunning volunteer support organization, assisting each of the museum’s
curatorial departments. To fulfill the council’s mission of service to the
museum, the group has raised and contributed more than $10 million
toward the purchase of over 143 works of art and has expanded its
mission by funding important exhibitions and educational programs.

As early as 1953 the AMC instituted two nationally known and still
active fundraising events. The immensely popular Art & Architecture
Tour is held annually each April, providing museum members and
their friends the opportunity to view some of Los Angeles’ most
distinguished private art collections and most architecturally significant
residences. The council also created the well-received and reviewed
Art Rental and Sales Gallery at LACMA, which provides a forum for
emerging Southern California artists to showcase their work while also
giving museum members and the public the opportunity to purchase
art. Museum members may even rent works of art for their homes
and businesses.
The Art Museum Council is honored to have
been chosen for a sixth year as the beneficiary
of the proceeds from the Opening Night Gala of
the Los Angeles Art Show. The council will use
its proceeds to assist in funding the exhibition
Art of Two Germanys/Cold War Cultures.

For more than forty years the Prints and Drawings Council has
been the primary support group for the Department of Prints and
Drawings at LACMA. The PDC’s principal goal is to raise funds for
curatorial acquisitions for the permanent collection while encouraging
appreciation in the field of original works of art on paper. PDC
programming is designed to engage and educate its active and
interested membership. Programs include lectures, private exhibition
tours, museum and gallery receptions, gallery and artist studio visits,
demonstrations of printing processes, and field trips. Throughout
its long history, the PDC has helped the Department of Prints and
Drawings acquire some of its most important works on paper by a
who’s who of important artists, including Dürer, Rembrandt, Tiepolo,
Goya, Piranesi, Whistler, Manet, Cassatt, Sargent, Gauguin, Matisse,
Picasso, as well as postwar masters like Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns,
Robert Rauschenberg, Ellsworth Kelly, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol.
It also regularly supports acquisitions by the emerging masters of the
twenty-first century.
Shortly after its founding, the Prints and Drawings Council started a
long-running fundraising effort, the PDC Commissioned Print Program.
For over four decades, the PDC has commissioned editions of new
works on paper by established and emerging artists from around
the world. Artists who have created prints for the PDC include Pablo
Picasso, Ed Ruscha, and David Hockney, among many others. One
impression from each of the commissioned editions is given to the
Prints and Drawings permanent collection, but the remaining prints
are available for purchase by the general public and at a considerable
discount to council members. Proceeds from the Los Angeles Art
Show Opening Night Gala will be used by the PDC to fund acquisitions
for the Department of Prints and Drawings. Images shown here are
available for purchase from the Prints and Drawings Council of LACMA.
Please contact pdc@lacma.org or 323 857 6558 for more information.

The EMA (Environmental Media Association) Board of Directors is so
proud to join the Los Angeles Art Show for the first time in 2009!
And with a new Administration in place, we can look forward to the
years ahead with a Federal Government that understands that the
energy issues we face are undeniable and alternative sources can and
will be implemented. So-called “green” products are now permeating
every established brand in every sector. Green is good. Green is
profitable. Green is, well, normal.
EMA mobilizes the entertainment industry in a global effort to
educate people about environmental issues and inspire them into
action. EMA was created in 1989, as a non-profit 501(c)3, with the
simple but powerful concept that through television and film, the
entire entertainment community could influence the environmental
awareness of millions of people. Through the use of weaving
environmental messages within entertainment programming and
utilizing "celebrity" for positive role modeling, EMA continues to have
a profound effect on how the public receives environmental
information.
EMA has been working with the entertainment industry to message
environmental content within TV, film and music for nineteen years.
2009 is our 20th anniversary and we couldn’t be happier to begin with
this new relationship with LAAS. We at EMA look forward to
continuing to work with each studio in furthering the green message
and providing any support and resources possible as each studio
pursues its individual sustainability programs.

Founded in 1989, Inner-City Arts works in partnership with the
Los Angeles Unified School District to bring elementary and
middle school students to the campus during the school day
for instruction in the visual and performing arts. High school
students participate in after-school and Saturday programs.
National, long-term research proves that students who attend Inner-City
Arts’ classes show dramatic increases in statewide standardized test
scores: 25% in math, 18% in reading, 8% in English proficiency. They also
learn skills that are highly valued in the 21st century workforce such as
collaboration, and creative and conceptual
thinking. Most importantly, students who
receive education in the arts are able to
create a whole new vision of self- a new
world of hope that includes accomplishment
and belonging.

The Inner-City Arts Benefit Print Collection
consists of complete editions of prints,
donated by established artists to support the
programs at Inner-City Arts.
For each print sold, six students will receive
valuable education in the arts for a year, attending classes in the visual
and performing arts, having an opportunity to write, produce and premier
their own film or learn the art and craft of animation.

The International Fine Print Dealers Association is a nonprofit
organization of art dealers, galleries, and publishers with expertise in
the field of fine prints who are committed to the highest standards
of quality, ethics, and connoisseurship, and to promoting a greater
appreciation of fine prints among collectors and the public.
Since its founding in 1987, the IFPDA has grown to over 160 elected
members from thirteen countries whose areas of specialization range
from old master and modern to contemporary prints, and includes
publishers of editions by renowned contemporary and emerging artists.
Election to membership requires a high level of expertise, ethics, and
professional integrity. The number of years a dealer or gallery has been
in business is taken into account along with the quality of art offered
for sale, the caliber of exhibitions and published catalogues, and the
international stature of artists exhibited.
To further advance its mission to increase the awareness and enjoyment
of fine prints, the IFPDA provides funding for educational programs and
materials, exhibitions, scholarly publications, lectures, and symposia
relating to fine prints. With its Annual Book Award, the IFPDA encourages
print research, scholarship, and the discussion of new ideas in the field
of fine prints.
The Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new website at www.ifpda.org contains information
about the IFPDA and its membership standards, a searchable database
of artists who have made prints with links to the member dealers where
their works can be found, and a calendar of museum and member
exhibitions worldwide.

Dear Art Patrons and Friends,
The Santa Monica Museum of Art is delighted to be a supporter of the 2009 Los
Angeles Art Show. I invite you to visit our booth and our museum.
On January 24, SMMoA opens Elias Simé: Eye of the Needle, Eye of the Heart and
Arnold Mesches: Coming Attractions on view through April 18. Please join us for
the opening receptions Friday, January 23 from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is always
free and donations are welcome.
Featured in our main gallery is Elias Simé: Eye of the Needle, Eye of the Heart, the
first survey exhibition in the United States of one of Ethiopia’s most original and
prolific contemporary artists. The exhibition’s guest curators are Meskerem
Assegued, a revered Ethiopian curator and anthropologist and the visionary
theater, opera, and multi-disciplinary artist, Peter Sellars. The exhibition is
comprised of more than 100 works in a variety of mediums, scale, and forms.
In Project Rooms 1 and 2, SMMoA presents Arnold Mesches: Coming Attractions.
Mesches has created unabashedly figurative work for more than six decades and
has emerged both as a seminal figure in American painting and a remarkably fresh
voice in contemporary art. His work combines an interest in twentieth-century
political and social conflicts with a surrealist approach to painting—offsetting
frank, historical moments with lush, melodramatic dreamscapes.
SMMoA is a risk-taking, non-collecting museum, whose exhibitions and programs
reveal the vibrant, untold stories and pivotal moments in the history of
contemporary art and culture. Through its exhibitions, education, and outreach
programs, the Santa Monica Museum of Art fosters diversity, innovation, and
discovery in contemporary art—local, national, and international.
For more information on SMMoA’s exhibitions, programs, and special events or

sculpture, one may find significant examples by internationally recognized artists. Jonathan
provides his clients with expert advice in the purchasing, collecting, and selling of fine

In our thirty years as fine art dealers, KMFA has developed an eclectic mix of styles and media from the most
rigorously minimal, to the most lyrically abstract. We specialize in one-of-a-kind works on paper and expanded into
paintings nearly ten years ago. The art we exhibit invariably expresses the joy the artist takes in the art-making
process, the sensuality of color and surface, and the pleasure of paint and mark-making. Our artists make work that
tends to be clear and optimistic, and (a very bad word in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art world) beautiful.

Established in 1986, The Kelley
Gallery specializes in original

Galerie Bernd A. Lausberg, founded in 2003, serves as a forum for innovators in the field of
contemporary art. Critical to the gallery’s choice of artists is the individual artist’s unnerving
striving to establish new directions within established genres. This applies to those artists that
are productive on and beyond the edge of the boundaries of painting, figure drawing, and
sculpture as well as those whose conceptual and thematic creations serve as a bridge between
3-dimensional form and art of an installation character, or whose manifestation itself is a result
of a particular engaged artistic and creative calling. New media, materials and techniques are
welcome ingredients in this quest to enhance or broaden traditional means of perceiving art.
With the opening of Lausberg Contemporary in Toronto at the end of 2006, we extended our
activities to the other side of the Atlantic.

CGU Art provides the space, the tools, and a
rich environment for individual art making and
experimentation.
Offering MFA and MA degrees in Studio Art, we are
an incubator of creativity and thought, where a
community of artists and teachers actively engages

of our time through the making of art objects and
experiences. We challenge convention, celebrate
individual endeavors, foster collaboration and

The degree requirements are in keeping with
the recommendations of the CAA (College Art
Association). The MFA Degree is a 60 unit degree
accomplished in four semesters. Twenty-four units
are required in your studio practice. Eight units are in
critical theory, eight units in art history, and four units
in writing/thesis. The remaining units are electives.
Also required are participation in the first year
MFA student and second year MFA student group
exhibitions, participation in one discussion group per
semester, and a solo MFA thesis exhibition.
The Claremont Graduate University admits only
graduate students. All energy is directed specifically
towards the needs of an advanced level of practice.
While faculty and visitors give you the best of their
professional expertise, it is a self-motivated program
in which you are seen as the center of your own

Solidly grounded in an interdisciplinary approach,
the visual arts at UCSD are deeply rooted in the
concepts of research and development. The Visual
Arts Department, one of the most highly ranked
art programs within a university in the country,
offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master of Fine
Arts (M.F.A.) across painting, drawing, sculpture,
performance, computing in the arts, film, video,
photography and criticism; as well as a Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) in art history and a Ph.D./M.A. degree
in art and media history, theory and criticism. The
Visual Arts program is uniquely situated within one
of the greatest research institutions in the country.
Its interdisciplinary ethos and tradition of innovation
and risk-taking underlie the educational environment
at UCSD. While students may choose to focus within
one particular area, they are encouraged to push the
boundaries of their chosen medium and to reach
across media-specific boundaries into new forms of
art making.
Founded by some of the country’s leading artists­
David and Eleanor Antin, Helen Mayer and Newton
Harrison, Allan Kaprow, Manny Farber, Harold Cohen­
the Visual Arts Department faculty has evolved to
encompass a vibrant range of artists, critics, theorists
and historians including Norman Bryson, Rubén OrtizTorres, Lev Manovich, Anya Gallacio, Kyong Park and
many others. Faculty and Graduate students routinely
develop organic relationships with colleagues in a
variety of departments across the university and
within the larger community. It is this conversational
model that sets the visual arts at UCSD apart.

issues of public culture, trans-nationalism, the
border and globalization. Individual research and
exploration is complimented by collaborative
and public outreach projects. Rather than being
sequestered in their studios, students at all levels are
expected to actively engage with the Department,
as well as the larger campus and regional art
communities. Students must be able to write and
speak about their work and the work of others. Art
history and critical theory influence the art practice
of studio artists, and conversely, art history/critical
theory majors and Ph.D. students may be deeply
engaged with issues of contemporary art practice.
The faculty in the Department’s newly established
Ph.D. program teach in areas ranging from antiquity
to the renaissance, from the Rococo paintings of
Watteau to the most cutting edge digital media.
In addition to an emphasis on Latin American Art
(from the pre-Columbian period to the twentiethcentury) the program has a critical mass of scholars
working in modern and contemporary art and
media history ­a rarity in conventional graduate art
history departments. The program offers a unique
intellectual environment in which exchange and
dialogue across disciplinary boundaries within art
history and between art practitioners, historians and
critics, is openly encouraged.

Bowers Cave is a ethno-film collage that explores the
historical event of the finding of the largest cache of Indian
religious objects discovered in the new world. The relics
were found in a cave now located in the Chaquita Canyon
landfill in Castaic California. The objects are believed to
be from a secret Chumash Indian cult that formed after a
mission revolt.

The historic California Art Club kicks off its centennial celebration with its participation in
the 2009 Los Angeles Art Show. Since its founding in 1909, the Club has actively promoted
the traditional fine arts of painting, drawing and sculpture with an extensive offering of
multi-disciplinary programs and exhibitions. As the Club looks toward its next 100 years,
it strives to continue its role as a catalyst for the ongoing dialogue about the merits of
traditional arts among artists, art scholars and art enthusiasts.

Eighty-three years ago, the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA) changed
the conversation about how art could be viewed, appreciated and
sustained in Los Angeles.

Dear Arts Enthusiast,
On behalf of the Staff, Board of Directors and Artists of the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA), please
allow me to express my enthusiasm for the 2009 Los Angeles Art Show presented by the Fine Art Dealers
Association (FADA). As I welcome this New Year and reﬂect on LAAA’s 83 year legacy, I’m proud of our
pivotal role in the formation of Los Angeles’s arts community. Today, I remain committed to our ongoing
mission of providing emerging artists with the experience, education and exposure needed to create and
sustain careers in the arts. Our unique status as a non-proﬁt organization provides us with the ﬂexibility for
risk-taking beyond what is possible in the commercial gallery system, thereby positioning the organization as a
driver of innovative content in Los Angeles. As THE place for emerging art in Los Angeles, LAAA serves as
both a feeder resource for the larger art community and a highly visible platform that fosters greater awareness
for exciting, emerging artists.

LAAA takes pride in our legacy as a champion of creativity and
innovation in our community. In 1925, LAAA’s original trustees (including
Harry Chandler, Edward Dickson and William May Garland) responded to
the dearth of cultural engagement in Los Angeles by establishing LAAA,
thereby creating the opportunity and the expectation that art would
have an ongoing role in the cultural life of Los Angeles. Our mission is
to support, nurture and develop our region’s emerging artists – helping
these artists fulfill their creative promise and ensuring the possibility of
their larger contributions to our social fabric and economic vitality.

YaYa Chou,Color Based

Mindful of the huge impact that emerging artists make to all aspects of our quality of life, LAAA believes that
emerging artists, even the most non-traditional talents, require access to a professional exhibition space and
the career support to expand and realize their singular artistic visions. The successes and expanded services we
provide to local artists and art advocates address important needs not confronted by most civic and cultural
agencies. By ﬁlling this need LAAA has developed into an essential resource for Los Angeles’ emerging artists.
While our participation at the 2009 Los Angeles Art Show is certainly one of the highlights of our 2009
programming, I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to join us at Gallery 825 on La Cienega
Boulevard on January 31 (6-9pm) for the opening reception of My New Country an important exhibition juried
by LACMA’s Rita Gonzalez. For more information on LAAA’s exhibitions and programming, please visit www.
laaa.org or call us at 310.652.8272.
Finally, a sincere nod of appreciation to Kim Martindale and the FADA Board of Directors for sharing the
belief that emerging artists can and do make lasting impacts on the cultural and economic life of our shared
community.

Sophia Allison, Untitled (clusters)
Dan Monteavaro, David Third Ave A

Having launched the careers of many high-profile artists, today LAAA
continues to play a central role in the Los Angeles arts community by
providing local artists and the public with exceptional exhibitions and
programs, as well as a forum for exchange and education through
lectures, workshops and networking opportunities. LAAA is a crucial
community resource in Southern California that functions as the standard
for peer-to-peer learning and ongoing networking for emerging artists.
Our work as a mission-driven 501c3 non-profit arts organization sustains
a vibrant artist community that puts the obligation for managing
knowledge and access in the hands of the art makers.
Throughout the years, Los Angeles Art
Association has experienced its share of
evolution, but never lost sight of one nonnegotiable principle—its commitment to
support emerging Southern California artists
in our shared community.

Enjoy the Show!

Eighty-three years later, it’s time to change
the conversation again.

January 2009
Dear Art Lovers and Patrons,
On behalf of the board and over four hundred members of The Los Angeles Printmaking Society,
please allow me to welcome you to the Los Angeles Art Show presented by the Fine Art Dealers
Association. We are honored to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Show and acknowledge the efforts of
all involved in this great event.
The Los Angeles Printmaking Society (LAPS) is a non-profit organization with a forty-year
history of supporting printmaking through education, exhibitions and by making resources
available to artists, art collectors and the general public. Founded and focused in Southern
California with artist members across North America, our membership is a true cross section of
the diverse and energetic range of contemporary printmaking.
Since 1973, LAPS has organized The Los Angeles National Printmaking Exhibition as a biennial
overview of the latest work from both the celebrated professional presses of Los Angeles and
artists working across the continent. It is one of the largest, longest running print biennials in the
nation. In 2009 the organization will be focusing on our 20th National Exhibition. It will be held at
the Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park from October 30th through December 29th with Peter
Frank as juror. To mark this major anniversary we are excited to develop a program that is a both
a celebration of our past while we look forward to our future.
For more information on LAPS and printmaking, I encourage you to visit our booth where we
will be presenting artist demonstrations from professional artists and printers from the Los
Angeles area and an exhibition of prints from our members. After the Art Show we encourage
you to visit our website, www.laprintmakers.com

I look forward to meeting you,

Jennifer D. Anderson
President
The Los Angeles Printmaking Society

The Los Angeles Printmaking Society
began in 1962, when two Los Angeles
artists decided to take things into
their own hands. Aware of how little
most artists and collectors knew about
printmaking, Connor Everts and Paul
Darrow set out to popularize printmaking through education
and quality print-related exhibitions. Joined by artists Leonard
Edmondson, June Wayne, Ynez Johnston, Guy MacCoy and
Dick Swift, the Los Angeles Printmaking Society was formed
with the support of the newly formed Los Angeles Arts
Commission and Ebria Feinblatt, then Curator of Prints and
Drawings at the Los Angeles County Museum.
Now a National Non-Profit with over four hundred members,
the Los Angeles Printmaking Society is still unwavering in
its mission to promote printmaking. With a fifteen-member
board, focused in the greater Los Angeles area, LAPS serves
as a resource for artists throughout North America extending
information and providing exhibition opportunities not only
in Los Angeles, but also in Ireland, Korea, France, Great
Britain, Sweden, Norway, and other locations. In 2008,
LAPS had exhibitions at the California Center Museum
in Escondido, The Craft and Folk Art Museum and the LA
Artcore Brewery Annex Gallery, as well as continuous virtual
exhibitions in our memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-line gallery. In 2009, LAPS
will be holding its 20th National Print Exhibition. Returning
to the site of the first National, the Municipal Art Gallery
in Barnsdall Park, the exhibition will highlight the work of
contemporary print artists across North America as well as
the presses of Southern California while also reflecting back
on the rich history and promising future of the Los Angeles
Printmaking Society.

If only you could see the courage, dignity, strength, and ability of each individual who
has a mental illness, you’d know their humanity, their talents, and skills. Step Up on Second
and Daniel’s Place is very proud to partner with the 14th Annual Los Angeles Art Show at the
Los Angeles Convention Center to help bring people who have a mental illness back into the
community of their fellow artisans.
Founded in 1984 and located in Santa Monica, Step Up on Second and Daniel’s Place
promote recovery and self‐determination by providing Help, Hope, and a Home. We are deeply
committed to increasing public understanding and acceptance of mental illnesses such as
schizophrenias, bi‐polar disorder, and major depression. The opening of two new permanent
housing facilities, increased outreach impact, and the expansion of partnerships with additional
communities clearly evidences how Step Up on Second is meeting the expressed needs of the
community.
Part of the progressive services offered at Step Up on Second is our dynamic Art
program. Through Art, we experience that we are all part of one community. The Step Up on
Second artists exhibiting here this weekend are defined by their artistic talent, not their
diagnosis. Underscoring this point is an important step in erasing the stigma and
misinformation associated with mental illnesses. One of the biggest hurdles we face is the lack
of community understanding and knowledge, coupled with the archaic, deeply rooted
stereotypes that take ongoing commitment and continuing action to change.
Join us as advocates in making a powerful difference in the lives of our member artists,
in the education of the community, and in support of the Arts this weekend! Visit and enjoy our
exhibit at the Step Up on Second booth, generously contributed by the LA Art Show. You are
invited to view and purchase the remarkable original artwork you will find there. 100% of the
purchase price goes directly to the exhibiting artists.
To learn more about additional ways you can be actively involved with Step Up on
Second, please email carolyn@stepuponsecond.org or visit www.stepuponsecond.org.
Resources, volunteers, and your support make everything possible. Thank you for your vitally
important interest and involvement this weekend – it is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,

step up ON second

The Art program of Step Up on Second is an integral part of the wellness and recovery
services offered to people who have a mental illness. These paintings were an exciting part
of ART HEALS 2008, Step Up on Second’s exhibit and sale held each year in Santa Monica.
The original work on exhibit at the LA Art Show is created by artists who are defined by their
talent, not their diagnosis. Founded in 1984, Step Up on Second helps bring artists who have
a mental illness back into the community of their fellow artisans.

Dear Friends,
We are delighted to join you at the 2009 Los Angeles Art Show, as we present the art of our
students, alumni, and our namesake, artist Herbert D. Ryman. As a passionate supporter of
the arts, you know the power of art. Ryman Arts offers teens with tremendous potential the
support and training they need to create art that matters.
Ryman Arts transforms lives. Not just the lives of the students we teach and mentor,
although that is our core mission. All of us are transformed by the art created by this new
generation of artists. We can’t help but be moved by their keen focus and unique vision of
the world. Indeed it is their talent that will fuel the creative industries and grace the walls of
our galleries and museums in the future.
Ryman Arts provides a unique pre-professional studio training program for artistically
talented youth from throughout southern California, grounded in the fundamental skills of
observation-based drawing and painting. Despite our growth since 1990, too many talented
youth still do not receive the advanced art instruction and guidance they need to succeed. By
2011, Ryman Arts intends to add additional instructional sites to serve 1,000 young artists in
our core programs, initiate a national residential summer institute for artistic youth, and
collaborate with more community resources to mobilize essential support for talented teens.
We’ll need your help to meet the need that continues to grow, especially as budget cuts
threaten the arts in our state.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and students, we are deeply grateful to our sponsors, Art
& Living Magazine and the LA Art Show for their belief in the next generation.

RYMAN ARTS

Ryman Arts provides free advanced drawing and painting classes along with college and career
planning for motivated, talented teenagers. The organization serves the needs of artistically
promising youth that are not typically met in high school art programs, focusing on collegelevel foundation skills. Each student receives a full scholarship that covers the entire cost of the
program: quality art materials, instruction by master teaching artists, guest artists, models, field
trips and public transportation. The program also does outreach workshops to recruit talented
artists in under-served inner city schools.
From a single drawing class for 12 students in 1990, the program reached over 2,000 people
in 2008, served 300 students in-depth in the core program and now has over 1,000 alumni.
The University of Southern California’s Roski School of Fine Arts hosts the Saturday studio
classes on campus at no charge.
Legacy of Herbert D. Ryman

teaching artists,

Visit our booth or www.rymanarts.org to learn more. We hope you will find inspiration in
the accomplishments of these emerging artists, and that you will be inspired to join us in
supporting today’s young artists, the creative talents of tomorrow.

Diane Brigham

The organization was established to honor California artist Herbert
D. Ryman (1910-1989), who bridged both commercial and fine arts,
exhibiting actively as a painter while also working for Walt Disney,
and mentoring younger artists throughout his long career.
Ryman Arts maintains an extensive collection of his drawings,
watercolors and paintings.
Impact

Students come from almost 100 communities across Los Angeles,
Orange, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Over
80% of Ryman Arts students reside in low income communities.
98% of Ryman students go on to higher education. Many receive
college scholarships because of their Ryman Arts training. Over one third of alumni go on to
careers in the creative industries, and almost all alumni maintain active involvement with art
throughout their lives. Students gain more than artistic skills. They also gain self-confidence,
time management, and persistence in setting and attaining goals.

Executive Director
Ryman Arts is the sum of extraordinary parts: training ground, incubator of talent, motivator,
and inspiration for a lifelong passion for the arts.

Each student receives quality art supplies,
including these watercolors.

GABRIEL DEL PONTE

maddy le mel

Gabriel Del Ponte’s large-scale installation works merge together a vibrant
kaleidoscope of colors, mediums, textures, and visions. Exhibited across South
America, Florida, New York, and now the Los Angeles Art Show, Del Ponte
combines a variety of techniques to create sculptural paintings that move through
figuration to abstraction, producing fantastical landscapes that reveal a classical
inspiration while exploring contemporary considerations in collage, Pop Art, and
graffiti. Gabriel’s work employs a medium of materials, acrylics, oils, and resins,
to capture a multiplicity of human experience in a frozen moment of time. In
his site-specific creation for the Los Angeles Art Show, measuring 10’ x 24’ in
the entrance hallway of the Convention Center, Gabriel immerses traditional
pictorial poses with the simple action of painting, into a spray of playful color.
Represented by Jacob Karpio, Costa Rica.

Maddy LeMel uses found objects, fragile paper
and simple wire as her palette. She juxtaposes
rough, dense materials with delicate,
handmade papers to explore the relationship
between vulnerability and strength. The
untold stories of the steel, wire, paper and
shards are etched upon their surfaces and are
like undercurrents that can never be known,
only felt. As these remnants are unified in
unexpected ways, they have a second chance
to mean something new. And in taking on new
roles and relationships within this work, they
remind us that even the most familiar things
are ephemeral, inevitably changing with time.

As many artists expand across forms, artistic practices have come
to incorporate methods that explore new media techniques and
technology itself. From its origins in the avante-garde movements of
the last century, video art has quickly established itself as a respected
genre, now collected widely in both public museums as well as
private collections. The Los Angeles Art Show is pleased to present
a selection of video works that highlight the diverse interpretations
of this evolving, yet still novel, medium.

As a medium, three-dimensional works
continue to inspire the creative mind, freeing
an image from the canvas and giving it space
to move in the world. Whether a realization
of the portrait in a truer form or an abstraction
of reality, sculpture finds shape in a multitude
of processes and materials: casted, modeled,
chiseled, carved, from clay, metal, wood, or
stone, the possibilities are as infinite as the
imagination. In the spirit of the Los Angeles
Art Show’s encyclopedic nature, our Sculpture
Garden presents a menagerie of works for your
contemplation. Visit the presenting exhibitors
in the fair and enjoy the stroll.
